Fancy Hot Dogs

Hold on tightly to your mullets!
Round up the feral cats!
Slide on your best pair of jorts!
This here's a rootin', tootin', hillbilly of a recipe:

Fancy hot dogs!

What's so fancy about them? Maybe it's the fact that you slice up the frankfurters and saute them with butter and onions. Or maybe it's the addition of the sour cream sauce. But, overall, it's probably just my desperate attempt to make encased mystery meat a high-class affair.

You could use "real" sausages instead of hot dogs. I've personally had my eye on some applewood smoked links at the store, but then poorness blinds me and leads to the sale-priced Hebrew Nationals instead.

That's ok, though--I'm pretty sure this recipe gives me license to apply a temporary boob tat and shotgun some brewskis. And in all seriousness, it's totally delicious.
Fancy Hot Dogs   Serves: 1
1 hot dog, sliced in 1/4 inch thick slices
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 t. butter
2 T. sour cream
1/2 T. water
Pinch of dried thyme
Salt and pepper
Rice or pasta, for serving

1.) Add the butter to a small skillet over medium high heat. Add the hot dog and chopped onions. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the hot dogs are golden and onions browned.
2.) Reduce heat to low and add the sour cream and water. Stir to combine and cook until heated through. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Serve with rice and sprinkle some dried thyme on top.

  2. Hahaha, oh, jorts. This is fantastic. I can't quite stomach hot dogs not knowing what they are, but I might be able to handle this.

  3. You know, if ever I eat a hot dog again, it's going to have to be one like this. Go big or go home.

  5. This reminds me of a time this past summer I made a balsamic-glazed hot dog stuffed pepper...I felt like I was eating an oxymoron, but it tasted so good!
